Trick of sight?

I scurried to the tree house to find Serena – the blue eyed doll. I held her tightly she whispered ‘you are that girl’.

Mum called “time for dinner”.

I clambered down the rope ladder landing on the freshly mown lawn. Inside I found everyone around the dinner table; my grandma at the head. I averted my eyes but she grabbed my arm tightly and pulled me in close. I heard her wheeze.

From her pores oozed a scent that remains locked in my nostrils capillaries. A mix of rose water, stale cigarettes and something unearthly. Her bony fingers found my chin; lifting until our eyes met.I saw cobalt blue. she winked.

I had forgotten I was carrying my blue eyed Serena under my arm. She slipped from my grip. Yanking myself free I bent to pick her up. Just as I reached down, it happened.

I wonder if this is something you cooked in your mind…the thought of running from who you really are..how far will you eventually get before you return home to the roots of the spirits that are waiting for you to lead them…so good.
